Yes but know that those heads have been decked to produce 10.5 static CR with OEM pistons, so, if running aftermarket cams with earlier intake close events, you need to watch CCP. You will also need '06 up intake flanges, PN 26993-06. The springs in these heads will accommodate up to .585" lift by the book but might work up to .600" if checked for coil bind first.

I have to ask, for $500, why not have your heads ported? The end result will be better.

Actually they are probably about only 9.5 to 1 with stock 88 ci pistons.. According to the 2010 catalog the need high compression pistons to get 10.5 out of an 88.. On a 95 motor they only squeak out 10 to 1 with flattops.. They do get 10.5 out of a 103 tho..

They are pretty much stock later heads that have been milled a bunch and heavier springs added. Better options out there for sure.

As Bruce has pointed out, those are just stock heads, milled, and yes, there are much better alternatives available.

Right, failed to mention that compression will vary with bore diameter.

With a bore to 98"/mild headwork, those .509's will really push the torque, if that is what you are after.

Kompressor heads are just stock heads milled with springs to accommodate a cam.
